the effect Of thinning out the stock

land men. The original owners are
Eugene Klein, of Murray, Murphy

Among the names Of the gentle
men that are mentioned as available
candidates for the Office Of alderman
that Of A. G. Edwards, Esq, is
prominently advanced by number
residents Of the Second ward. The
selection of Mr.. Edwards for the re-
sponsible position-and one that
promises to be more responsible than
ever during the next year-would
be most excellent one. He is not
only one of the heaviest Taxpayers
and most public spirited voters Of
the ward, but he Is gentlemen of
good hard common sense and more
than ordinary business ability. Great
care should be taken this spring in
the selection of candidates for alder
men. The prospects are that there
will be vast amount Of public busi-
aess to transact during the year,
work that should not only be under
taken for present Requirements but
which will answer the purposes of q
city for years to come. To do this
work properly requires q clear head
ed and careful man, whose aim will
he the city'S interest above all other
considerations, such being the case
each ward should make good selec-
tions. The Second ward will find in
Mr.. Edwards that kind of man.
